EC must investigate bribery allegations made by Hardik: Congress

He insisted that the Constitution nowhere said more than 50 per cent reservations could not be given. "We are all fi ghting for one cause: reservation for the community", he asserted.

Former ASG Vikas Singh on Thursday said the Congress fooled people promising reservation to Patidar community.

Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) leader Hardik Patel, who's spearheading Patidar reservation stir, and Congress fi nally forged an alliance on Wednesday. Hardik stressed that not just the Patidars but other communities will also gain benefi ts of reservation to be given on the basis of a survey that will be conducted as per guidelines mentioned in the Mandal Commission.

The Congress did make a few changes as per Hardik's wish such as removing Amit Thummar from the list, but told him to announce his support as early as possible, the sources said.

Upholding the Mandal Commission recommendation that extended reservation to OBCs, the court had in 1992 capped the quota at 50%.

Hardik Patel said the Congress had said that if it won the Gujarat elections, it would pass a proposal for reservations under Articles 31-C and 46 of the Constitution.

Police investigate second Spacey sexual assault claim
THE MET POLICE in London are investigating another allegation of sexual assault made against Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey . The allegation was made just a day after the Old Vic released results of its own internal investigation into the matter.

However, the 23-year-old refrained from saying that his outfit would openly support the Congress. The party will bring a Bill in the state Assembly and give reservation, he said."My fight in Gujarat is against the BJP and that is why we will directly or indirectly support Congress (in the elections) as it has accepted our demand for reservation", he added."Congress has promised to include our demand in its manifesto", he said.

Flanked by other leaders of the PAAS, which has been campaigning for job quotas for the Patels, Hardik Patel brushed aside allegations by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that he was "a Congress agent".

On 17 November, when Bhambhania reached Delhi but couldn't meet the Congress high command, he gave a 24-hour ultimatum to the party. He does not know anything about the Constitution.

What looks likely is the promise would push the quota beyond the Supreme Court's ceiling of 50%.

"The Supreme Court's judgments regarding reservations are very clear".

Gujarat is a developing region, and this type of "negative politics" will not work here or any other state.
